Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
